Pranav
I and my sister did a 7-day lemosho route and a 4-day safari in Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire.
Calvin and his team adjusted to our every need like my sister being vegetarian, helping us push during tough times, or literally carrying our bags at one point.
They are truly a set of professional crew with years of experience under their belt. Moreover, you would be supporting a local company directly rather than a European or American company as well as saving money while doing so.

Thank you to Kevin and the Kilidestination Adventures team for helping me make my biggest dream come true.
I really appreciate your professionalism, commitment, support, kindness and smile at every stage of the trekking along the Lemosho route.

miss Kevin's team, for that morning coffee☕️ in the tent⛺️, for talking together at breakfast, lunch and dinner. For Jeff's guitar🎸, for this unknown way to the top📍 🏔🥾🥾, for overcoming our own weaknesses, because man is a fragile being and so strong at the same time.
